Well this is terribly disappointing! After a veritabletwo weeks of post-election speculation about our future Secretary of the Treasury, with an endless parade of sexist buffoons and kindly forest-giants to choose from, Barack Obama goes for some dude named Tim Geithner who appears to be of normal stature and possessed of no serious personality defects. YAWN.

Let's review:

President of the New York Fed.
Youngish.
Not bad-looking.
Has worked for the Treasury for a million years, since 1988, under five different Secretaries.

JESUS CHRIST HE IS GIVING US NOTHING TO WORK WITH HERE. We'll just have to hope Obama goes with the half-Mexican womanizer for Commerce, as threatened.

Post-Racial America

When the Trump administration starting taking migrant children at the border like it was a lending library, there were concerns they'd be used as leverage against their parents. This probably was because people close to Donald Trump kept saying out loud that the intent was to use them as leverage.

Trump has since heroically stopped (somewhat) doing the cruel thing he was doing. He's now moved on to an entirely new cruel thing. The former "Apprentice" host wants to add some reality TV game show spice to the immigration dilemma: Parents caught crossing the border illegally can either remain detained with their kids in a sweltering tent city or give up custody of the child, to be cared for by a hopefully nice person and maybe someday seen again. We call it "Sophist's Choice."
